markgall Sep 2021 1:58pm, 16 Sep 2021 126 posts	0 markgall Looks an interesting book SPR. I am able to run just now but my mobility is restricted, my stride suffering and I am so far off the pace it's not real. XC relays then some indoor though I hope. I've only done 3 indoor races before (2 x 3000 and 1 x 1500) so looking forward to trying out the likes of the 800 and just having a bit of fun with no real expectation.
markgall Dec 2021 10:44am, 21 Dec 2021 127 posts	0 markgall After a frustrating time with injury and family illness and a multitude of withdrawing from races I did an 800m OGM on Saturday. Off the pace from earlier in the year in 2.17.89 but happy with that with a lack of real training. Ahead of me in the race was my 65 year old training partner who casually broke the M65 world record in 2.15.30, was amazing to watch.

J2R Dec 2021 6:40pm, 21 Dec 2021 3,981 posts	0 J2R Sub 2.20 is my target, too. Did 2:22.9 this year, so it may be possible. 2:15 is an incomprehensible time for a 65 year old, markgall!
Gobi Dec 2021 7:42pm, 21 Dec 2021 75,374 posts	0 Gobi Surprised myself with a 4.47 1500 off only a 2.24 800 this year. Best 1500 since about 2005

Gobi Dec 2021 2:04pm, 22 Dec 2021 75,376 posts	0 Gobi Hey SPR is it time for 2022 goals list? Obviously I failed on sub 2.20 this year but stunned myself with the 1500 in sub 4.50 so unexpected it wasn't even a goal.
